By 1983 a presidential stalker given the name ‘Catman’ by Secret Service agents had called the White House numerous times and sent letters to President Reagan which mentioned security details that were unknown to the general public. He also sent close-up photographs of his intended victim when the president appeared at political events and “lots of photos of cats”. When Secret Service agents eventually caught Catman on a New York subway in 1983 they discovered photographs which revealed he had positioned himself outside the fence at the New York City mayor’s residence during a presidential visit. Catman had been close enough to shoot President Reagan but his shot had apparently been blocked by agents.
